For most of us, the symbol of pollution is a pile of rubbish. But few people think about what happens to them after we throw them into containers, bins or even a ditch. Someone will take care of them. Where our worries end, the communities begin. According to the law, the municipality is the source of our waste. It is the one that arranges for the cleaning, sorting, use or disposal of the waste in the landfill. The brochure you are receiving presents five stories of municipalities that are doing an excellent job of managing their tasks and can thus serve as a model for others.
